OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 20, 2011 at 10:48am: Debbie, that's awesome! I wish I had known there was a CD group in my area, I would have joined it months ago. What church is it?

I don't know if I can make it Saturday, but if I can, what is needed now for the boxes? We are kinda short on money right now (saving to buy house), but would like to contribute something.

If we are not mee ting and packing I will send off my flip flops to the Ingraham. Please let me know I really would rather meet some locals though.

Comment by HisMom on October 17, 2011 at 2:36pm: Please tell me we are still on for the 22nd

Comment by HisMom on October 17, 2011 at 2:35pm: Ok I got 32 pairs of flip flops, some bouncie balls, some slinkies, some little cheap dart guns with targets, yoyos, some watermelon gum, and necco wafers. Oh and the dollar General stores are having a 90% off sale on summer stuff. I got the dart guns for 30 cents. They also have their Christmas stuff out now if you want to throw some decorations in the boxes.

Comment by HisMom on October 13, 2011 at 11:42am: Do you have a time you are thinking about on the 22nd?

Comment by Linda on October 12, 2011 at 10:15pm: Heading to GC tomorrow for A school graduation on Friday! Looking forward to having my son home until the 24th!

Comment by lori on October 5, 2011 at 10:47am: I forgot what it looked like! I think we are supposed to get sun for the rest of the week!!! Makes a nice change doesn't?!

Comment by Linda on October 3, 2011 at 10:57pm: If you meet early afternoon, I may be able to join you.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 3, 2011 at 3:05pm: So, how much of everything are we supposed to get? I've never done this before, so if you could give me some guidance it would be great

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 3, 2011 at 3:03pm: Good Afternoon, Maryland moms! I am now back from my travels and catching up on all my reading on N4M's. It was so awesome to see my son graduate from A school in Pensacola. Can't wait for him to finish his Shipboard Operations class, so he can come home before his duty station. So it looks like another lunch is in the works? YAY! Count me in too. :)
